Learning Note: Aurora Borealis rhinestones were created in 1955 through a collaboration between Swarovski and Christian Dior! The special coating creates that magical rainbow flash, named after the Northern Lights. Pairing AB stones with milk glass became a signature look of high-end 1950s-60s costume jewelry because the contrast between the matte white glass and brilliant rainbow sparkle was absolutely showstopping. These elaborate parure sets (matching brooch and earrings) were considered essential for elegant evening wear and special occasions!
